Re: Tarmac "GpA" rallycar build.
Weekly update time...
In order for the front triangulation to be fitted correctly, the inner wing must be cut to get a full weld. To facilitate this, I removed the strengthening pieces from the shell so that it will end up with overlapped pieces..
Then drilled out the spotwelds and removed the "bulged" strengthening piece using the panel splitter
Once that was removed, I then made a vertical slit in the middle strengthening piece and removed that
and then marked up the actual inner wing with a cut line so the rollcage installer can cut and reweld that piece.
I also made up some cardboard pieces and metal plates for the passenger rack triangulation.
We then refitted the rear beam, springs and dampers and front suspension assembly and took the shell off the jig.
Then loaded it up on the trailer...
and dropped it at Tornado Motorsport for the rollcage to be fitted..
Hopefully pick it up next Tuesday fully installed!
